Located just off the Piazza della Signoria and steps from the Uffizi, Olga's House is home to five simple and clean rooms that cater mostly to a youthful clientele. The staff wins points for very friendly service.

Rooms have modern and modular IKEA-style furniture, with sleek bedding and ample space for luggage. All come equipped with a satellite TV with DVD player, air conditioning and safes. Windows are soundproof with double-glazed panels.

Bathrooms are freshly tiled and follow a bright white and light blue color scheme.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. Breakfast is included (and served in a nearby café).

One caveat: This B&B is located on the third floor of a building without a lift. To get up to Olga, you really do have to climb. You should also note that the hotel doesn't offer 24-hour reception; instead, it uses an online check-in system.

Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor. This review is based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

Duomo

You can't miss Brunelleschi's magnificent dome atop the rosy marble Cathedral. It's the obvious central meeting point and tourist hub of the city. Here, you're in the vicinity of practically everything: the Uffizi Museums, Palazzo della Signoria, the San Lorenzo Market and the Accademia.

The streets surrounding the Duomo cater to visitors, with generic, all-day dining (for a price) and exclusive shopping. The big guns in Italian fashion are located along Via Tornabuoni (technically closer to Santa Maria Novella), with several others on Via Calzaiuoli, Via del Corso. Borgo Albizi, which starts behind the Duomo is more of a boutique street, featuring handmade, original designs in clothing and accessories.

Sleeping in a hotel near the Duomo makes practical sense, as this is the center of Florence, making it simple to pop back to your hotel room at a moment's notice. Fortunately, several of our favorite budget hotels in the city are located in this neighborhood—some are surprisingly affordable given their location. (Also see this blog post about out favorite hotels near the Duomo for under €100.)
